Well, this kind of theme of having the 4 classic virtues (temperance, prudence, fortitude and justice) or some variation of the theme battling each other is not new at all. It is quite the recurrent literary resource actually.... though the trope has evolved quite some from its humble origins I guess.

Because they're both the main characters and the "good guys." Funny how that works out.

This list is really oddly accurate.

I think what it really goes back to is the "four humours" of Ancient Greece circa 5th BC, and the importance of keeping them in balance within the body. If you want to read something interesting for awhile, it's explained here: http://www.passionsandtempers.com/v1...l=en&p=humours

(And this is one of the reasons I always tell people, "Even though Avatar: the Last Airbender seems superficially based on Eastern culture, it's true core is Western culture through and through.)

Wow, I never thought much about the 4 classic virtues in relation to Harry Potter or even Saki. It's time for me to take a thorough look at them.

To be honest, I thought someone else would have come up with that a long time ago...

I'm going to take a look at that interesting article you have just provided a link to.

You know, I was thinking the exact same thing as I wrote that, and even thought about linking to that exact page. But in the end, I decided that there wasn't enough to hint a villan protaganist, and decided not to link it. Glad someone did post one though. Although I feel bad for the poor shmucks who are now going to end up wasting hours on the tvtropes website as new tabs open up like cell multiplication. This includes me. Can't... resist...tropes...

Still trapped. But yeah, while seen from Kiyosumi's perspective, it was a heroic victory that paid off their hard work. But from another character's perspective, Momo, for example, Saki basically stole the victory from them. (Even though technically Koromo would of won instead)

Also, I just realized. Momo could be the most successful burglar/bank robber ever. "How the hell did you just let some random high school girl walk into the vault and take a bunch of money!" "I don't know sir, I never saw here." "It's on the damn security camera. She didn't even try to sneak, she just walked right in!"

"Our sources indicate that the bank robber Momo is hiding in this house. SWAT, ready, go!" "Sir, there's no one here!" "impossible, there's our spy satellite clearly show that she's in this house." "Look for yourself, there's no one here? Unless she can turn herself invisible dumbass? Jeez, it's chilly in here, anyone feel a draft?"

+Yumi as Momo's Mission Control who analyzes d plans the route Momo needs to take and provides backup if necessary.

Huh? Somehow I had thought this was the last episode, and I was going to say that they had managed to come with a good closure after such a lackluster filler arc. But to think to it continues after this... I cannot help to think that they will ruin it.

Is the next episode the last one? I thought that this one was. Loled at the Momo suddenly appearing at the pool, but was kind of expecting that. Kyoutaro had a weird expression during the festival though. It felt... odd of place. And for some reason reminded me of Kittan from TTGL.
